The Original Master of Lies @Shoju@octodon.social
According to a Bot, I'm a Hella shadeweaver, with a trusting tawny owl familiar.
One day, I will live happily, on an island where no one will knows I exist. I don't mean that in some sort of bizarre emo way.
I honestly would love nothing more than to get Chuck Noland'd
Listen right here, citizens of the Internet.
Read this.
Get Angry.
Get Organized.
Stop this motherfucker from screwing us all over.
make me a wizard
Make me a Wizard
Give me a familiar
I live within "Fan Distance" of Cleveland. I grew up a Browns fan. I was there as a kid w/ my dad for the Drive & the Fumble. I was young adult when they left. I rooted until just a few years ago.
& then I quit them. It's been fascinating to see how many of their fans get vicious when another human decides they aren't having fun and want to move on.
What gives you the right to be an asshole to someone who decided to have fun watching another team?
Looking around and talking politics in the wake of Franken, I've realized that there is a SERIOUS cultural divide and what people understand about our country based on the size of the city you live in.
I had hoped that 2016 would make Dems wake up, and realize that large Urban populaces and small mid west / rural ish populaces are significantly different.
Sadly, I was wrong.
Trump got elected because we liberals thought the world was some sort of moralistic fish bowl, where horrible people were somehow not going to vote for trump because of his racism, his xenophobia, his blatant appeals to nationalism, populism, and fascism.
Stop discounting those people.
Stop thinking that somehow the Democratic Party is some morally superior group.
Start actually working to make your party better, and start taking the other side of the aisle fucking seriously.
Or lose more
Listen up.
If you think that Al Franken's behavior being outed means that his career in politics is over, that he has no shot of being involved in government, that he's suddenly going to remove himself from congress, or that the Democrats are going to want him to do so out of some "Morally superior position" as opposed to the GOP?
YOU
ARE
A
FUCKING
MORON
And that ideology right the fuck there is what helped get Trump elected.
I started a business with my friends.
Let me tell you, right now there are times right now, that the level of petty that can happen is enough to make violence seem like a legitimate solution.
A candidate for Governor in my state just shared a Breitbart article on their page.
Literal. FUCKING. NAZIS are being called good people by the President,
Peacefully protesting citizens are Sons of Bitches by the same guy.
A candidate for Governor is sharing propoganda level "journalism" from Breitbart.
And we're all just here saying: "MURICA, FUCK YEAH!" right?
So, my son and his Lady are going to the doc to determine if they are going to be adding to their family.
I'm equal parts Freaked the fuck out and Happy for him.
Grandpa means you're old, right? I'm not old. Am I?!
Update on my coworker from yesterday:
Scene: Bumpin' some System of a Down today, she walks in w/ nasty look
Her: I Can't believe you listen to them
Me: Why?
Her: They're so "in your face about their beliefs"
Me: So.... No Rage Against the Machine then eh?
Her: Why? I love Rage!
Me: Really?
Her: Yes, why?
Me: I mean, that's a really odd distinction to make. SoaD is In your face, but Rage isn't?
Her: What are you talking about? Rage is awesome, and they care!
Me: Stunned Silence
I've heard her blast:
Slipknot
Deftones
Metallica
Gemini Syndrome
All that Remains
in the past few days. She hasn't boycotted music, but she is currently boycotting the NFL.
I'm curious about Rage, because it's right up her alley, but the politics of it would leave me wondering.
She is a full on brainwashed #trumpet
It would not surprise me if she isn't here today, because she's out celebrating Trump's latest non accomplishment.
I'm really bummed that my coworker isn't in the office today. She's a fellow metal head, but a SUPER CONSERVATIVE TRUMP LOVER.
I woke in a mood to listen to Rage Against the Machine.
I was really hoping to hear what the reaction would be.
Generally, she's a fucking moron, and has no idea what she's talking about. I was hoping to hear how much she loved them.
Sometimes, starting a business with your friends is the greatest thing in the world. Sometimes, it's the worst thing in the world.
Division of Labor can be a motherfucker.
There's pigeons down on Market Square She's standin' in her underwear Lookin' down from a hotel room Nightfall will be comin' soon
Oh, my my, oh, hell yes. You got to put on that party dress It was too cold to cry when I woke up alone I hit my last number and walked to the road
Last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to kill the pain I feel summer creepin' in and I'm tired of this town again
Well, I don't know, but I've been told You never slow down, you never grow old I'm tired of screwin' up, tired of going down Tired of myself, tired of this town
Oh, my my, oh, hell yes Honey, put on that party dress Buy me a drink, sing me a song Take me as I come 'cause I can't stay long
She grew up in an Indiana town Had a good-lookin' mama who never was around But she grew up tall and she grew up right With them Indiana boys on them Indiana nights
Well, she moved down here at the age of eighteen She blew the boys away, was more than they'd seen
I was introduced and we both started groovin' She said, "I dig you baby, but I got to keep movin' on Keep movin' on"
